High-Performance Cars & FPGAs: More in Common Than One Might Think
In today's muscle cars, automatic shift transmissions can outperform their manual counterparts. With today's FPGAs, it's possible to hand code fixed-point representations or use automatic floating-point formats.
The 1960s and early 1970s are known as the "muscle car" era. It began when the largest engines were designed into intermediate sized cars. Notable examples include Chevelles, Fairlanes, GTOs, 442s, Chargers, and Roadrunners. In the same time period, the Ford Mustang began the "pony car" trend and soon spawned competitors such as the Camaro, Firebird, Barracuda, AMX, and Challenger. Engine size was determined in cubic inches in those days, with the engine displacement clearly displayed on the car. Numbers like 396, 429, 440, and 455 became synonymous with high performance.
